Google’s acquisition of mobile-device-management startup Divide is designed to help the Internet giant’s Android business reach more business customers, report the WSJ’s Alistair Barr and Rolfe Winkler. The deal is also notable for another reason–it marks the fourth time Google has acquired a company backed by its venture arm, Google Ventures. The first such deal carries a bit of an asterisk—Digg founder Kevin Rose and part of his team at mobile app incubator Milk were more or less “acqui-hired” by Google in 2012, with Rose eventually moving over to become a partner at Google Ventures. Later that year Google bought Canada-based e-commerce company and Y Combinator grad BufferBox. The third deal was the biggest–a $3.2 billion acquisition of Nest Labs earlier this year, after Google Ventures led two venture rounds for the startup in 2011 and 2012. Since Google Ventures only started investing in 2009 (it has since participated in about 270 funding rounds, in about 210 companies, according to Dow Jones VentureSource), chances are we’ll be seeing its parent company scooping up a few more portfolio companies over the next few years.
